But see that's exactly my point - I am invested so actually I don't go around "talking my book" but you have zero skin in the game so your opinion matters about as much as Bob down at the bar watching the game on TV.
If you're invested you have interest to say it's good regardless of reality. because if it's bad first you need to sell off to avoid being the bagholder
Yes you can say you're honest and stuff but does it mean anything if you can go broke from honesty.
you are taking your book by implying all the naysayers are secretly shorting the stock instead of having reasons to think it's empty hype. let's see how long copium lasts.
> i'm starting a new trend: ask every person that is so certain about the negative outlook how big their short position is. so how big is your short position? please let us know.
To me people with short positions likely be bending the truth. To you they are honest. Funny
There's a reason why investing must be declared in many situations. and it is because they are a conflict of interest not proof of honesty
> By definition, a "conflict of interest" occurs if, within a particular decision-making context, an individual is subject to two coexisting interests that are in direct conflict with each other ("competing interests"). This is important because under these circumstances, the decision-making process can be disrupted or compromised, affecting the integrity or reliability of the outcomes.
The decision is what to write on HN and integrity is compromised if "writing truth" is in conflict with "get richer" which can happen if you invest in a sus biz.
We can pretend you are the rare exception that speaks the truth even if it means you go broke but even then it just proves the rule
